Exporters praise OGFZA on tariff review

The Association of Nigerian Exporters has commended the leadership of the Oil and Gas Free Zones Authority (OGFZA) for demanding a downward review of tariffs payable in the free zones. The Director General of the association, Prince Joseph Idiong, in a statement, said that the call for a downward tariff review by OGFZA at once reflects the sensitivity of the agency to the challenges facing free zone businesses and the need for the free zones to live out their essence as a special business-friendly hub.

Idiong said by the initiative on the tariff cut, the Managing Director, OGFZA, Umana Okon Umana, has shown that he is working to bring back life into the free zones and deliver badly needed succour to struggling free zone businesses.
